IIRC. *ONLY* on the XO-1

Why would disabling suspend save physical space? Sorry, I don't
understand.

Is this related to mesh icons reappearing after suspend, or there is a
different reason?

Note, We _want_ to be able to suspend using lid-closing or power
button. This significantly increases the battery life of the laptops,
and they dont require frequent recharging.

The only reason why active power management (i.e. screen dimming,
screen blanking out, wifi shutdown, suspend) is disabled on the XO-1
is because it doesn't work reliably enough. I think the normal
suspend-resume cycle works well though (save for the mesh issue)
